Long Islanders face third week without power; George W. Bush still in hiding

Font Size:

Unfortunately for hurricanes, Barack Obama just got reelected. He’s definitely going to stop global warming, which may or may not be something that causes hurricanes. (It doesn’t, but shut up.) Therefore: Bye-bye, hurricanes. Oh, you thought you were so great, whooshing around like you owned the place. But you didn’t count on Obama!

Still, some of the people who got hit by the final hurricane in human history are still whining and complaining just because they “don’t have any electricity,” and they’re “hungry” and “cold,” and on and on. As Emperor Bloomberg points out: “People are always gonna want to get as many things as they want, as fast as they can.”

Yet they persist, as CBS News reports:

As the power outages on Long Island drag on, New Yorkers railed Sunday against the utility that has lagged behind others in restoring power, criticizing its slow pace as well as a dearth of information…

“We sleep with insulated underwear, sweatpants, sweatshirts and three quilt covers,” said Marilyn Cashdan from Baldwin Harbor. “No one cares about us…”

On Sunday Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano visited with disaster-relief workers in Staten Island’s Midland Beach neighborhood, which is still devastated two weeks after Sandy hit.

Napolitano said “a lot of progress” had been made since the storm hit and especially since her last visit 10 days earlier. “It seems like a different place,” she said. “You can really tell the difference.”

Whew! Heck of a job, frowny.

And how is the Greatest President in the History of Everything rewarding himself for a job well done? As Daniel Halper reported on Saturday:

President Barack Obama is spending his first Saturday after winning reelection on the golf course. Today’s outing is to the course on Andrews Air Force Base.

“Motorcade arrived at Andrews Air Force Base at 11:01 am after an uneventful ride,” the pool report reads. “President Obama is playing golf with three White House aides: Eugene Kang, Joe Paulson and trip director Marvin Nicholson, according to a White House official. Pool is holding at the Andrews fast food court for the next few hours.”

Obama has already golfed four times more than George Bush did in eight years. Which might be a problem if Obama wasn’t four million times as awesome. Or is it four billion? Well, if Obama doesn’t keep track of such minor details, neither should we.

One of the tough lessons all the wingnuts and teabaggers aren’t smart enough to learn from Election 2012 is that polls are always right when the Democrats win. With that in mind, take a look at this Fox News* exit poll:

(Hat tip: Hot Air)

Seems pretty clear to me: Obama won because he kicked Sandy’s ass.

Sure, over 100 Americans have died, over 120,000 homes and businesses still don’t have power, and there’s the usual looting and chaos and whatnot. Well, those crybabies can just warm themselves in the glow of Obama’s smile.

It certainly worked for Chris Christie.

*I know, I know. Fox News. Still, it’s a poll!

P.S. Brooklyn citizens feel abandoned after Hurricane Sandy. Well, they should’ve thought about that before they voted for Bush.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
